This was taken in 2006 on my world travels. I spent a month traveling throughout India and this photo was taken at Karnimata in Deshnok, Rajasthan. Karnimata is a hindu temple that worships rats (as you can see all the little rats feeding in the background, and some dead ones too) - it was one of the most fascinating places I visited in all my travels and was a real eye opener. This boy came up to me in the temple and stared at me for ages. I think he was fascinated with my cameras. I had my mamiya 6 medium format film camera with me and my digital SLR - he could not understand how he could see himself in the back of one camera and not the other. He was a sweet kid, I have lots of photos of him =)


I took this photo while I was in India in 2006. We went to Deshnok to visit Karnimata, which is a Hindu temple where they worship rats!! It was a crazy place to visit, there are a few other photos already in my blog that I took at this place. I was taking photographs of some kids and this man tapped me on my shoulder and pleaded I took photos of his son aswell. He was such a proud dad!!

Today, I got myself a Flickr account - go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/sammblake/ to check it out!! All my photographs will be appearing on here sooner or later! ;)

India, August 2006

Ive just did a mini redesign of my website, I was unhappy with the background colour in my last design as it was appearing a different colour on everyones computer.

Ive been down in Albany the past two weeks working on a landscape photography project. Even though im not engaged, Ive decided that I want to have my wedding at William Bay near Denmark, its the most beautiful beach in the entire world! After traveling overseas for the past year I have came to appreciate how beautiful the Great Southern coastline of Australia is so so beautiful.

Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, India, August 2006

Jaisalmer was my favourite place to visit in India. Its a small city in the very west of Rajasthan near the Pakistan border. I took the most photographs there then I did than anywhere else during my travels.
